A Perry man with a track record of domestic abuse assault was arrested Tuesday afternoon for domestic abuse assault.
Francisco Mora, 30, of 1816 Warford St., Perry, was charged with third or subsequent offense domestic abuse assault.
The incident began about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday in the 1800 block of Warford Street, where officers of the Perry Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Mora allegedly “struck her multiple times with a closed fist in her stomach” and “put his hands around her neck, choking her,” according to court records.
The officers made contact with Mora, who told the officers “that his wife struck him while he was sleeping” and “that he pushed her back” prompting her to notify law enforcement.
Mora is held in the Dallas County Jail on a $5,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Jan. 27 in Dallas County District Court.
Mora was arrested in Perry in September on charges of first-degree harassment, violation of a no-contact order and interference with official acts. The case is pending in Dallas County District Court. He was convicted of third or subsequent offense domestic abuse assault in March 2022 in Dallas County District Court. He was convicted of violation of a no-contact order in February 2022 and and again in April 2022 in Dallas County District Court. He was the subject of a no-contact order issued in August 2021 in Glendale, California, and in effect until August 2031. He was convicted of domestic abuse assault twice in 2017 in California, according to court records.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
